Somebody Call 911: Porsche Signs With WTA For Title Sponsorship Of Race To Finals

Porsche has been involved with the WTA in recent years as owner and title sponsor of an event in Stuttgart, Germany. Maria Sharapova is also an endorser of the car brand. Porsche's multi-year deal is the first major sponsorship struck under WTA CEO Steve Simon, who assumed his post in late '15.
